Freeze Over comes across and Avanti Rose looks like being among those prominent with Miss Leonidas who can use the inside barrier. Freeze Over probably finds the lead. McGarrett won't be far away and the likes of Avanti Rose, Streets Of Avalon and Choisborder can take forward spots. AVANTI ROSE enjoyed a very good preparation over the summer and resumes here in a suitable race. All four wins at this trip and drawn to effect. Go close. CHOISBORDER resumes as a gelding and hasn't raced since a Moonee Valley maiden win in October. Shows promise and a definite chance. FREEZE OVER started favourite at Sandown last time and stuck on well up on the pace. Sure to be thereabouts again. Magnesium Rose should be kept safe and Miss Leonidas is also a contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking quinellas with 5, 8, 12.
